Easton’s Bible Dictionary (Illustrated)
Easton’s Bible Dictionary
By Easton
The Illustrated Bible Dictionary, better known as Easton’s Bible Dictionary, is a reference work on topics related to the Christian Bible compiled by Matthew George Easton. The first edition was published in 1893 and a revised edition was published the following year. The most popular edition, however, was the third, which was published by Thomas Nelson in 1897, three years after Easton’s death. The last contains nearly 4,000 entries relating to the Bible from a 19th-century perspective. Many of the entries in Easton’s are encyclopedic in nature, although there are also short dictionary-type entries.
Because of its age, it is now a public domain resource. – Wikipedia
Commentary on Easton’s Bible Dictionary by David Cox
This old Bible dictionary is another classic dictionary. While the definitions are old, the argument can be made that the majority of the definitions of Bible words have not changed with time. Perhaps there are new archaeology finds that would shed light on places and some issues of culture in the ancient world (which would make Easton’s work weak on those points), the majority of the definitions are still very conservative and good for the Bible student today.
